About this course

Geography and Middle East Studies brings together two disciplines that are each, in their own right, concerned with how human societies shape and are shaped by the world around them. Geography asks you to think across scales, from the movement of water and soil to the forces of globalisation and urban change, developing analytical skills that connect natural systems with human ones. Middle East Studies asks equally demanding questions about culture, history, politics, religion and language in one of the world's most consequential regions. Studied together, the combination encourages you to think critically and creatively about place, people and power in ways that neither subject could achieve alone. Over four years of full-time study you will move between physical and human geography, exploring environmental processes, migration, geopolitics and spatial inequality alongside the history,
